In the unfair case of Tom Robinson he was accused of raping a girl he never found interest in.The case had a ruling set before it even started‚because he was a black man. There was so much evidence that Mayella wasn’t raped by Tom Robinson‚some of the evidence were Tom’s physical handicap from a cotton gin as well as his left arm being twelve inches shorter than his right and was not

Tom Buchanan was my character of choice because of his interesting role as both a bystander in Jay Gatsby’s relentless pursuit for Daisy and his side story arc with Myrtle. His attitude towards minority groups in the 1920’s reflects the sense of superstition wealthy whites of the time could relate to due to the strong anti-African-American sentiment that they held. The openness of his flings with other women leaves much to be desired‚ which makes him an extravagant man to play: rich‚ frisky‚ and

I Believe that Tom Benecke is a dynamic character. He is forced to act quickly and because of this‚ many things about him change. Tom is ambitious‚ self-centered‚ and impatient. These three traits change a lot throughout the story.Tom is very ambitious when it comes to his work. He is always looking to get a promotion at work by doing a project. Tom just focuses on the big picture‚ rather than the small picture. This trait changes at the end when he decides to go to the movies with his wife. When

As we go through history‚ one of the most current issues in people life is property and the obtaining of money. A clear example is the story of “The Devil and Tom Walker” based on the concept of greed and how it lead us directly to the sin. At the beginning of the story Tom and his wife are described as a miserly people‚ living a miserly and unhappy life‚ always trying to cheat each other.

check information that seems out of place. One could go into depth with the news that appears untruthful. Take for example Dan Fagin‚ author of "Toms River‚" after hearing about what was happening in Toms River from other journalists and reporters‚ he decided to proceed further and investigate the issues himself. He wanted to alert the people of Toms River about what was happening in the city; he wanted them to take action and stop whatever was going on. In order for this to happen‚ Fagin went

monster-vision and if not that then it was on a similar show. I actually prefer this 1990 remake directed by Tom Savini‚ over the original film. I really enjoy what Tom Savini did with this film as a director and can’t help but wonder why he hasn’t done more as director. The update to color is nice‚ but the film does lose something in the transition. That said what was lost is more than made up for. Tom Savini’s Night of the Living Dead is almost beat for beat the same film as the original. Only with slight

Adventures of Tom Sawyer‚ the main character‚ Tom Sawyer goes through many emotional changes as he grows and matures. Seventh grade is also a time of change‚ so I have also gone through changes this year. Tom’s adventures changed him for the better. I think the biggest change for him was his maturity. When Huck‚ Joe‚ and Tom went to Jackson’s Island and they decided to crash their own funeral‚ they were being very immature. But‚ as the story went on‚ Tom matured. When Becky and Tom were lost in the
